Science: Climate around the world

climate powerpoint-2.pptx Download climate powerpoint-2.pptx 

There are three powerful factors that determine the CLIMATE of an area: 

1.  Elevation

2.  Global wind currents

3.  Global water currents

The one which has the greatest impact on an area depends upon where it is located.  

If you are working from home, study the last slides of this powerpoint.  Then, choose three places in the world.  Tell me which of the three factors is most important on the climate in the area.  

For example, California is much less humid/hot than Florida.  That is because the water currents off the coast are very cold in California and very warm in Florida.
